I haven’t had a chance to even really skim this thread so I’m grunching but it’s really weird to me that Wookie was basically the only Politics mod over at 2+2 and everyone thought that was fine and objected to Mat and Mason trying to add to the mod team there but for some reason here Wookie’s an intolerable tyrant and his replacement will lead to eternal sunshine and happiness.

There are a couple of reasons I can think of why that might be.
-
Absolute power corrupts absolutely (and the rules formulated by him and voted for by a majority make it pretty much impossible to get rid of him)
-
On 2+2 the battle lines were drawn between deplorables and their adjacents, and others. A lot of the others left to form this site, where without the deplorables to argue with differences in political views became much more obvious and salient. People also began to feel disappointed in their fellow forumites who they’d previously believed to have more in common with politically than was actually the case. Wookie aligning himself (of course he’ll deny this) with one of those wings has led to the other wing feeling marginalised, othered and bullied.

Victor, I don’t like singling anyone out but I will because I believe you are honest and will answer as such.
Do we want UP as it currently is, to survive?
Do you want to change the experience at UP?
Do you just want to fully breakaway?
Like I dont understand the hand wringing and thousands of messages when you can go somewhere online where people like you, you like the other people and you can have an enjoyable experience. If you don’t think this is the place for you, it might not be. It might be the fault of others. If you were treated unfairly I’m sorry for that, I have as much power over that as I do over my cats.
Happy to post the admin logs. Ggoreo can too if he wants, or the next admin. I’ve not read private messages other than this one, the other one I referred to, and my own.
Just read the words here you have written about me and others here. You’re all pieces of shit. Ban me, whatever, I told you I’m gone anyway.
a pandemic happened and everybody lost it to varying degrees

Boredsociopath is a much better screen name than boredsocial. Can I get it as an undertitle?
Also my wife says this was ‘close enough’ so… not too too offended? I’ve been called worse.

There’s absolutely no way someone should suffer any mod action at all for something they’ve written in a PM unless it’s a threat of some kind.
Awful ban, awful modding.

Don’t care - ggoreo can confirm, or the next admin. I didn’t read anyone’s messages. None of you really matter to me that much.
Nobody cares what you think jal. Nobody. This thing as it currently exists is over. You won.

I’ve also been trying like crazy to ignore all the provocative jibes and insulting stabs that a certain person keeps making at me in the hope that he’ll get the desired reaction.

The last part is absolutely not aimed at you, it is in a general sense. I am not compiling popularity lists or anything.

I’m surprised you would admit to all of this. You stole money from the register and are proud of it. wtf man.

The dishonesty you’re willing to stoop to is hilarious. Fidget trolled the forum for months. He got banned because he trolled the forum for months. The PM just confirmed that he was, in fact, trolling.
You’d have a somewhat valid point if you had gotten banned for a personal attack on someone in this thread, but you know this and are engaging in bad faith, again.

You don’t care what I think and I’m fine with that, but you only speak for yourself.
The “current thing” here is by all reckoning broken (and has been for a whole) - surely that’s one thing we can all agree on.
No winners.
Sorry I didn’t see it straight away when Geewizz posted the ban or I’d have written a post as I was to angry with what Jmakin has done with the breach of trust.
You and others may notice since I entered this thread that I’ve posted with the knowledge that it was going to be public but I didn’t expect that my personal PM’s may be read too and had to rush into my PM’s and delete stuff, for me that was a lot of work, but needed.
I suggest that everyone does the same especially if American as Jmakin has previously demonstrated he WILL go to your home.
RED ALERTS this is seriously fucked up shit man
This is quite similar to how GOT ended, glad we get to relive that amazing experience!
Which is why I suggested months ago people start using encrypted pm’s, so this exact sort of thing can’t happen.
Jesus at the pearl clutching here. Everything I’ve been saying for weeks was true. There is and was definitely a ring of trolls intent on ruining this place, it’s here clear as day. Also a special fuck you for acting like you were my friend or whatever. That shit was super transparent anyway.
Anyway I’m logging off now. I’m already getting soft threats from some of you. I’m not really interested in dealing with this, or a new admin transition. This has negatively been impacting my mental health for months now, and I’m done with it.
Ban me (lol who’s gonna be the one to do that though), purge my posts, publish my pm’s, don’t care.

I like you Victor, but you use the term “gaslighting” way, way too often to fall on this side of this argument.

If my dumb ass could have seen this coming, more should have too, BTW I never voted for Jmakin to be an Admin here because of his previous appearance at a posters house after a dispute.
That never happened. This is a lie. I will tolerate it a lot but do not make shit up about me.
